deleted emails disappear

[tere12]

I get my mac.com emails on my Droid Eris.
When I delete any mac emails from the phone, they do not go to the Trash.
And they are also not in my mac account in my computer, not in the inbox nor in the trash.
I have my settings in my mac email account set to NEVER delete mail from server
I just want to retrieve the mac emails I've deleted.
thanks!.

so is mac.com the host of the email? or are you getting emails from mac.com to your gmail inbox?

just want to clarify this first

I do not get my mac emails in my gmail inbox.
They are separate.

When I delete them, they do not go to Trash.
and worse, they disappear from my .mac email application.
So I have no record at al of these emails, not in the Trash nor in the Inbox.

Please help.
thank!!!

is it IMAP or POP3?

my theory, unconfirmed, is that when you delete messages via your phone they're just outright removed from the server, as opposed to put in your trashcan.

now my question is this: if you want the emails, why are you deleting them? why not just mark them as read, then file them from your PC (or from your phone, if you can do that)
